After the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, he was sent to Samaria, where he preached with much success, and his baptism of an Ethiopian eunuch led to the foundation of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. In 52 AD, he entertained Paul the Apostle on his way to Jerusalem, and his four daughters became fortune-tellers. He later became Bishop of Tralles in Anatolia.
